Our Fields of Specialties:

These are the fuel mistakes services we can extend to you:

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Cheshire we are finding more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is in part caused by motorists not knowing the way to use it (note: it is not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly next to each other on the vehicle.

Well, exactly what is the situation with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Seeing that AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it's as bad as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Moreover, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

Assuming you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank remove it at the earliest opportunity. And of course take care not to start up the engine - not even to move it from the pump. In case you have started the car you will almost certainly need to have the whole fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is actually an important condition to address in a motor vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Having water inside your petrol or diesel can certainly contribute to idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not dealt with effectively, oftentimes blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to remove in comparison with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to solve both circumstances quite expediently.

Remember that if ever the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will likely be completely wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close enough to a car or truck parking spot we should be able to gain access to the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've done numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

We've been called out to a number of private and commercial premises in Cheshire to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or possibly even several containers in a garage, as long as we can get to it, we could certainly drain it for you.
